I'm looking at getting a good quality AK47 rifle, but don't know what to look for, any hints? I see these Romanian models go cheap for $325, but are they of respectable quality?

I like the traditional rifle, full buttstock, slant flash hider, bayo lug etc.

What are YOUR recommendations?

I don't know how much I should be spending on a good quality AK, I guess $500-$600 maybe?

you can get a reliable shooter AK for 300 or so, Romanian AKs are the biggest bang for the buck, but some may have canted front sight block, so you want to check it before you lay down the cash.  

Personally I like Bulgarian milled receiver AKs, but the price on those tend to turn people off.  They're the best out there IMO.

the bulgarians are without a doubt the best currently availible.  but with a bit of tinkering you can have a romanian that works great and still have money for 10 mags and 4 cases of ammo(or more depending on which arsenal Inc. rifle you look at)

that being said, if you want something that is fun to shoot and arent worried about asthetics, get the romy.  if you want the nicest AK ever to grace the face of the earth get something from Arsenal inc.  

or you could get a kit and send it to JNewt and have him build you something, he does some pretty nice work from what I've seen.
